    Cleveland IMS - finally touched a Ténéré

    The Alt Rider crash bars are the second item going on my Super 10. The Micatech bags bags being first. Alt Rider has engineered every part I reviewed to be a work of engineering art. No short cuts here or skimping on materials to save cash. Beautiful workmanship.

    Cleveland IMS - finally touched a Ténéré

    I was there today as well and echo all the above. Alt rider products look well made and some of the bits ARE going on my Super Ten. It was clear to me after looking at the bikes and sitting on them, that the Engineering team had a GS in the barn as a bench mark. I am so happy I got my order in...

    Jesse Luggage

    The seals leaked on BOTH bags. I can only speak to my experiences with these on my GS. The leaking seals seemed to be a reoccurring complaint on the GS forums. By all means, if you like them, buy them. For what they charged me and what I got....then my first trip with wet gear from leaking...

    Jesse Luggage

    My Jesse Odyssey II bags leaked from day1 . To fit them on the GS you had to relocate the factory turn signals and use a cheesy license plate bracket. The hardware rusted after a year of use. The brackets were not removable for the times you wanted to ride without the bags. I could not...

    Cameras and Photography

    One of the reasons I got the cannon in addition to AA battery power, was the advance photography modes. I can use in in a P&S mode or go choose what degree of automation I want as well (to include aperture control). Quite an advanced little camera in its day. I'm sure its been upgraded since I...

    Cameras and Photography

    I use a cannon Power Shot A1100IS for my tank bag camera (12.1 mega pixels with Image stabilizer) for my point and shoot. If I'm going to be posting to a forum or on line, I use the 5 mega pixel camera in my Samsung Focus Windows 7 Phone and transmit it directly to the net. I pack enough stuff...

    After Market Hard Luggage

    The V2's are a smaller version of the Micatech bags. One of the reasons I didn't buy Micatech Pilots for the GS was the size. When they came out with the V2's there were exactly what I was looking for. From the web site" V2 side case sized at 37L (8”) and 45L (10”) Dimensions are: L=18"...

    Ride In

    Elkins is just down the road from where I live...maybe 50 miles, so that is easy to check out. They also did one around Davis which is further south. Keep the suggestions flowing. I have a topo Gazette of WVa so it wont be difficult to provide some route guides if we meet down there.

    Ride In

    Check out Spruce Knob.....some dirt roads leading down the back side of the mountain. If we end up in WVa, I'd guess we would be near there. Black Water Falls is a great place to camp and its an easy ride to Spruce Knob and over to Seneca Rocks.

    Ride In

    My intent was to get something rolling for the East Coast of the US. What we need is to get one set up in the mid west and west coast. Some one local needs to be able to work out the logistics. I'd be happy to ride westward! If someone wants to take it on, we need to coordinate dates.

    Ride In

    I posted a poll on where we would like to look at conducting this. I know we have time till the Bikes are delivered, but I want to do a map recon and conduct physical recon rides of the areas in regard to camping/riding and related activities. At some point, I will throw some dates out to see...
